Concert announcement: Billy Joel and Elton John at Scottrade Center
Billy Joel and Elton John are at it again.
The classic pop music performers will bring their long-running Face 2 Face tour back to town, with a show lined up for 7:30 p.m. May 14 at Scottrade Center.
Tickets for the Scottrade show are $54-$179.50, on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday at Ticketmaster outlets, www.ticketmaster.com, www.livenation.com, by calling 314-241-1888, and at the box office.
There is a limit of six tickets per customer.
As on past tours together, the two greats will open the evening performing duets together, then perform their own solo sets before meeting up again for the finale.
In a statement, Peter McLoughlin, CEO of St. Louis Blues Enterprises, said “We are thrilled to have these two music legends performing together on one stage at Scottrade Center. Our facility and the entire city of St. Louis will be rockin’ with the piano men.”
Face 2 Face is a Live Nation tour.

Kevin C. Johnson has covered the St. Louis' music and nightlife scene for the past decade. 
Glas to see St’ Louis is still on the list for some of these bigger tours.
Awesome. Can’t wait!
Saw them the last time they were here and it was awesome. Hope to see them again.
Ticketmaster? Hah! Never!
Stubhub for the win!
2003 photo? GOSH! These guys are getting old looking! Am I? (yes!)
By the way - nice outfit Elton! You gay or what? (tee-hee)
No thanks! Great guys;great musicians! But if I were to go to a concert to see a great from the past - give me Led Zeppelin, or The Beatles (if they were all still alive), or someone along that line.
I would really like to see Elton.
A piano has 88 keys, so there will be a total of 176 keys on stage that night. Top price is $179.50 per ticket. So basically we are talking a dollar a key. I guess that is OK, but you know there will be service charges and all of that. In the end you are probably looking at about $200 per ticket, or $1.13 a key. I guess it is up to you whether that is worth it. On the other hand, at $54 you are talking 30 cents a key and that is a steal. But, from those seats you will not be able to see the keys. I wonder if Billy and Elton even need all of those keys. They could probably eliminate a few of the keys and either end and get the songs done just fine and at a more reasonable price. You can break it down by song but then do the songs they are both on stage for count as one song or two? I bet they would say two, and that would be unfair. And this is off the subject, but Billy Joel is called the Piano Man because he wrote a song with that title. But no one calls Elton John the Rocket Man. Is it because he is not really an astronaut? That does not seem fair to me.
Wow! Fantastic. We are in a recession, and these two dinosaurs (They are both as big as dinosaurs)are going to futher fleech the public with these over-priced tickets.Don’t pay these prices, and they will drop them. Think people, think!
I have seen them twice and both shows were great.
This is going to be an amazing show! Can’t wait.
